Dave? Dave?

No, sir, I’ve never heard of any such person as “Dave Bowles,” although I did once know a certain Maurice Bowles. But that fellow was a strapping young ROTC cadet, not some grizzled old retired lieutenant-colonel. So if this “Dave” character tries to tell you any crazy stories about a long-haired dopehead guitar-banging rock-and-roller he knew in college, don’t believe […]

And Let Me Add, ‘Roll, Tide!’

Bemoaning the likelihood that Republicans will win their current battle with Democrats over extending the Bush tax cuts, progressive blogger David Kurtz reaches for an interesting analogy: It reminds me of the line attributed to the old football coach Bum Phillips, speaking about the legendary Alabama coach Paul “Bear” Bryant: “He can take his’n and […]

‘Roman Polanski Has a Rival as the World’s Most Notorious Fugitive Pervert’

That was a friend’s reaction on Twitter to the news that Interpol has issued a warrant for Julian Assange on sex-crimes charges: The WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, is tonight facing growing legal problems around the world, with the US announcing that it was investigating whether he had violated its espionage laws.

A Harvard-educated, AIDS-infected, Internet-cruising, marijuana-using gay British expatriate presumes to speak for Americans who reject Sarah Palin because of “a meanness, a disrespect, a vicious partisanship.” We await a response from Sarah Palin’s uterus.

Thanksgiving Day Traffic Suckage Alert: Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders Edition

You should hit my tip jar today. Why? Because Thanksgiving marks the beginning of Holiday Traffic Suckage Season, which has been known to cause severe cases of Blogger Mood Disorder. We bloggers live or die by traffic. When traffic is up, we’re happy. When traffic is down, we’re sad. Blog traffic goes in the toilet on […]

Hallie Miller: What’s Not to Like?

You can blame Da Tech Guy for this one: Some commenter left a link on his site saying that she was in a modeling contest and asking people to vote for her. Was this spam? Nine out of 10 bloggers would have instantly deleted such a comment, but Da Tech Guy investigated and discovered that […]
